You said I would never be anything, do you remember?
You said my reflection from my small mirror was a million times better, do you remember?
You screamed at me every time I tried to smile, do you remember?
You dragged me by my dress, do you remember?
You let him rip my heart right out, do you remember?
You called me names…
You made me a slave in that house…
You let him undress me to bare bones…
You spit in my face…
I was helpless
I was powerless
I was defenseless
I couldn’t even run
I stayed.
Do you remember?
You asked me to die
You asked me to disappear
Do you remember?
You compared me to a pig
You compared me to a dumpster
I begged you to love me a little..
I begged you to forgive me for nothing..
I begged you to allow me to smile..
I begged you to allow me to be a child..
I begged.
Do you remember?
They took me away..
They loved me…..
You “smiled at me” then
You “played the part” for them
Do you remember?
I remember!

Seeing life through someone else’s eyes will make you both cry.
Very poignant!
That is the story my dear. Thank you for taking your time to read.
😀👏
Oh God. This triggered some memories in me. Truly powerful!
I am so sorry that it did. So much love my friend 💞
But, I think that’s the mark of a truly great poem, or story. When it connects with the reader on a personal level. Oh Gosh. I hope this makes sense. It’s almost midnight and my brain is a bit scrambled right now.💁🏻❤️
Thank you again and again for your kind words.
🤗
whew. My heart breaks for those who truly feel these words.
